Port Authority cop accused of owning 'Newtown'-style assault rifle

NY Post ^

[Figment]

Not according to the Medical Examiner. .223 for the victims, pistol for himself

[LibLieSlayer]

They may have been killed with a .223 rifle... but it was never an full auto assault rifle... and there are so many conflicting reports flying around... only a fool would believe any of it without proof. It does not matter what was used... a propane canister and some black powder would have taken everyone down. Handguns can be used at high rates of fire. I remember one incident in NY where 39 shots were fired in less than 30 seconds... at a perp during a domestic dispute... only it was cops doing the shooting and they never hit him. I am just tired of the BS and the incorrect reporting. I know someone up there and they say the local media is changing the story on a daily basis. Whatever happened to the perp that they caught in the woods? That was confirmed before it was denied... by a sheriff’s spokesman.

“That what stuck out to me too. $175K/yr for a cop that guards a bridge.”

And what about New York garbage collectors making $140,000 per year?

I think they were all bunched up over the flash surpressors not the caliber.

It's beyond me why a flash surpressor a hand grip and a 20 round mag are worse than an unstable idiot using them.

There is no doubt.

There will be no doubt when we see the signed coroner's reports.

"...Why the people of NY/NJ put up with this crap I will never understand..."

They've been told they are free by their government. They believe they're free. They're convinced they are free. They are sleeping. Just like the Matrix. Move them to a free state and they become afraid and try to make things more like home.

Oh yeah, cause if I shot you with my AR the adjustable stock and flash suppressor are really going to hurt... I’m sure the thousands killed by plain old handguns in gang violence are glad they weren’t killed killed by an “assault weapon.”....

The 41-year-old cop, who works at the George Washington Bridge and made $175,000 last year

What's the supervisor and Chief make? Half million per year?

Gezzz...

[TSgt]

Spot-on...

[mykroar]

My first catch too. /sigh

[Eaker]

they heard automatic weapon fire..they knew it was a high powered rifle.

Did one of the children have the automatic weapon? If it was actually a high power rifle was 7.62x39 or .308 or what?

The shooter had a 5.56x45, small caliber, fairly low power semi-automatic rifle.

Please enlighten us.

[lavaroise]

Hmm... why does it take a ME to tell us that? Looking at shells on the ground or pictures of the perp with a rifle would have told us that. I heard reports that the ME started spewing this theory before he examined the victims...

[RitchieAprile]

the .223 does fairly zip along ~3100 or so fps.

so its not what I’d call low power. I’d call .22 .25 or
.32 low lowered.

[lavaroise]

The WHOLE media meme is to focus the discussion confusingly on the guns used, when the REAL ISSUE is that they cannot nail it on a RIGHT WING extremist or some Norwegian Breivick.

So they have to nail it on the gun and on a discussion about guns because the perp was a liberal satan worshiper... and the Chinese are bankrolling congress and zero to disarm america.

Ramsey, NJ, police said they took a total of 10 weapons from Haner after his wife asked for a temporary restraining order.

The 41-year-old cop, who works at the George Washington Bridge and made $175,000 last year

This is like Nazi Germany....The wife turns her husband in, he'll rot in prison, lose his home, loses career, probably gets beat to death in the joint, while she collects his lottery style government pension and bangs all his friends while he's caged...gezzz. .

And he committed absolutely no violent crime...

Old America is looking really good.

[yldstrk]

I agree with you. The kid only used pistols and the rifle stayed in the truck where it belonged

[lavaroise]

I say ban assault liberals...

ie. empowering a leftist snitch with the media optics and an Obama grip.

[wolficatZ]

“I agree with you. The kid only used pistols and the rifle stayed in the truck where it belonged”

Wrong.

Pump shotgun in trunk.

The video shows that plain as day.

[lavaroise]

This police department is going to pay a heavy price for siding with useless snitch whores against their very own... just saying... and she will eventually be hated and have to pay the price too. Boobs do not have a lasting value.

[Eaker]

Well, we can all have our own opinions.

The round is high velocity but not high power in MY opinion.
